This site has an ongoing topic of my Dads' 8th Army Air Corps service during WW2. There is duplication of some photos and statements. I condensed these posts from another Blog I write to contain everything in one space. The existance of this Blog has brought forth the reuniting of old comrades. This is a Tribute to all those who have sacrificed for our country.

Stolkholm Sweden Photo, 1945 and now......

This photo was taken by Dad during one of his Stolkholm Sweden OSS Missions in 1945. He said it was a group of statues near a railroad station.

I contacted the Stolkholm equivlant to our "Chamber of Commerce" and they directed me to the "Kunst" (?)...a sculpture which still stands today near the concert hall in Stockholm. (Not sure if that is the name of the statues but that is what Google Earth labels it.......)

The railroad station is now gone but the statue still resides in its' 1945 location.

Another photo taken in Stolkholm by Dad in 1945. Don't know of its' actual location in the city.
